Yeah, my wife and I have put off having children until we are more financially stable. Meanwhile more and more of our pay check is taken to pay for kids born to mother's like this one.

What can you do though? If my wife and I said "No, we're going to keep more of our paycheck until we feel we can afford children" the government would show up and arrest us. We basically turn over money at gun point.

We don't have shit jobs either. We make very decent money, but there is a lot of money involved in properly raising a child in this economy.

If the welfare system keep rewarding these parasites to have kids they can't take care of, the parasites will continue reproducing uncontrollably until they overwhelm the system. Stop giving welfare to people who have kids they can't support.

My take is you should be allowed as many children as you can provide for.

If you cannot provide for them, and apply for assistance you get zero state funds and the state puts them into the system.

If you show 2 months of income capable of providing for them you get them back.

This will piss some folks off, but you can't please everyone.

The current system rewards folks for having children they cannot support, it has to change.

Or..... they keep the kids and its their problem to find the money. Why make it the state's problem to fork out the cash?

Why restrict the flow of social Darwinism?

Thought that was covered under "apply for assistance".

If you can find a way to provide for the kids using charities, support networks, etc, so be it.

When you start demanding the public supplement your poor decision making skills we ALL have a problem.

That woman has nothing to offer her children. There is no point in the state making an effort to reunite them. She cannot support them, she has nothing to teach them, she clearly cares about no one but herself. She's some kind of sociopath. She should be sterilized and kicked off the gravy train.
